Église Saint-Jean-Bosco, Art Deco church in 20th arrondissement, Paris, France

The Saint-Jean-Bosco Church features a 53-meter-high tower, reinforced concrete construction, and geometric patterns characteristic of 1930s architecture.

Architect Dumitru Rotter and his son René constructed this Catholic church between 1933 and 1937, drawing inspiration from Notre-Dame du Raincy.

The interior displays Mauméjean brothers' craftsmanship through mosaics depicting Jesus's life and Virgin Mary litanies across the nave vaults.

Located at 79 rue Alexandre Dumas, the church opens daily from 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM near Alexandre Dumas metro station.

The building contains two distinct worship spaces: a lower church reserved for Salesian students and an upper church dedicated to parish members.
